Danny Boyle Says He Could Not Make ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Today Due to ‘Cultural Appropriation’ and ‘That’s How It Should Be’: ‘I’d Want a Young Indian Filmmaker to Shoot It’
Danny Boyle says he could not direct "Slumdog Millionaire" today due to cultural appropriation concerns, and that's how it should be.
Danny Boyle admitted to The Guardian on his press tour for “28 Years Later” that he would not even think about making his Oscar-winning “ Slumdog Millionaire ” today. Citing “cultural appropriation” concerns, Boyle noted that he’d be “looking for a young Indian filmmaker” to direct “Slumdog Millionaire” if he was developing the project in 2025. “Slumdog” went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations and won eight prizes, more than any other film at the 2009 Academy Awards.
